David Bowie recognizes the Internet as an alien life form in 1999

I just can’t pass up the chance to pay homage to David Bowie as he recognizes (in 1999) that the Internet carries the flag of the subversive and possibly rebellious message that previously belonged to Rock and Roll. I love when he notes that the audience is at least as important at the artist. Great for art but also speaks to the potential for online civic engagement. He also recognizes that there are no longer 2 sides to every issue – the Internet gives voice to plural voices.
